Changing Engine Oil

[Gavin]

I have just changed the engine oil after 250km.

When I removed the drain plug, a spring and small dome shaped mesh filter dropped out at the same time, but they were too quick for me to see which order they came out in.

I have replaced them with the dome shaped filter first, (with the dome end pointing down into the spring), then the spring, and the drain plug. Can someone please confirm if this is the correct sequence, as the service manual does not show the filter, only the spring and drain plug.

If you look in the manual (section 4. Lubrication) you will see a pic of the engine cross section and the oil channels in the engine block.

This pic shows that the filter screen goes in first 'dome down', then the spring, then the cap. so yes you got it right

Thanks Billy, I, looked at Section 4, but I missed that one.
